The situation is no different from a male soldier leaving his wife and child to go to fight.

Sorry Shaker , but your 'metrosexual' view about nurturing just doesn't cut any ice with me ,
Women have served in the armed forces for nearly 80 yrs with great distinction without the need to go into combat , leave that to the guys. It's not a matter of equality, Women have prooved many times in guerilla warfare situations that they are the equal of the guys, examples.... French partisans and the Viet Kong but that was a matter of neccesity, life or death, I don't think we are at that stage just yet , Women in regular combat units , sorry dont see the need and don't agree with it .
even though it gives me chest pains , I have to agree with Jambutty on this one .....
